We could not have asked... - We could not have asked for better guides, they were so much fun! The lunch was also fantastic. We went during the high water season and still had some class V rapids. Very intense but definitely worth it!

Adrenaline pumping day on the river! - Great time! We flipped in Terminator rapid which was pretty crazy but Ayobi was there in the rescue kayak to help us back in. Key our guide was amazing and Yona the photo guy rocked! We are a big rafting family from USA and this trip definitely did not disappoint!

Amazing river rafting!!!! - My experience white river rafting with Bundu was the best activity of all my activities during my stay in Livingstone!! I went solo spontaneously and the team welcomed me to join - they were very well prepared and professional- they prepared and informed us of what to do and what not very well before and even under the whole rafting - the communication and safety was great - i felt so safe - I had so much fun - during the rafting they told some history about the area and the animals - we stopped for a break in the middle - and to get some water to drink - when we reached some points where it was safe - we got the opportunity to swim in the zambezi river - it was amazing! Afterwards they served us good lunch and beverages - I highly highly recommend this team! I will definitely be back for the longer rafting - team Bundu ♥️♥️♥️

Great experience! Would recommend! - A great panorama between the gorges of the Zambezi and a lot of adrenaline are guaranteed! Admittedly, we didn’t have much previous experience and the rapids of the Zambezi instilled proper respect at first sight. But the team around Captain Ayoba made sure that we still felt safe. You could tell the boys know what they're doing. All in all it was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to anyone! Please note: Basic fitness is a prerequisite.

The most recommended active tee at Livingston - Rafting on the Zambezi River, the world's highest torrent. for four participants in the event of falling off the boat. Two canoe staff, three guides on the boat, two film crew, a truck driver and a total of eight people. 21 torrent points. It takes three and a half hours to cover 24km. It's a truly amazing rafting experience that can only be experienced here.

Fun time white water rafting - Great activity, my girls and I loved every minute of it except the walk back up the gorge at the end, which is to be expected very hard work. The staff were very patient and made sure we were safe and looked after at all times which was lovely. Only point I might mention is that the staff in the office that communicate with you about pick up time need to be more knowledgeable about the activity as I asked about clothing and footwear and if any was supplied and they replied no, when in fact wet suit tops were supplied which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Great ride with exhausting end. - The rafting was wonderful and the guide excellent. One downside, however, was the long climb from the river to the edge of the canyon after the end of the ride. This can really become a challenge. Rained only for really fit people.

unnecessary fees and did not provide promised video - They were not prepared for the tour we had booked, so that we had to do another one. They made us pay park fees which were not necessary and did not provide the promised video. No excuse or partial refund for all that...

Cancelled last minute - They cancelled our trip 1.5 hours before we were due to be picked up in the morning. They offered another tour but expected us to pay +25% extra for the privilege. Very poor and shows a lack of respect for customers or their time.
